Halloween is known for the paranormal, but it can also be about technology. I gave a few examples of how you can use apps and websites to track your kids, light their way and enjoy the holiday to Wayne Dawson of Fox 8 News in Cleveland this morning.

And so it was, Halloween 2010 at the Meister House. The trick-or-treaters had their fill of both candy and decorations, and we received plenty of compliments from the family and friends they brought along with them.

Check out our Flickr photo gallery as well.

Terror and technology combine at the Meister House Halloween display. I had a chance to speak with the Fox 8 News morning team about how we create our holiday lightshow experience.

Even the Agent Meister Mom was there to explain how she collects the hundreds of Halloween decorations that make up our display.

Work continues on the 2010 Halloween display at the Meister House. We decided to move the graveyard from the side to the front of the house. Once setup is complete, we’ll use a small FM transmitter to allow people driving by to listen in on the show, which will be setup to run daily between 7 to 9pm.

The lightshow is run using a D-Light 16 channel controller hooked up to a small home-built PC running AuroraShow.
